The Workshop

The workshop will take place in the historic Hotel Jagdschloss Niederwald in Ruedesheim/Germany. The setting and the limited number of participants (ca. 50-60), provide a very convivial atmosphere for the ready exchange of thoughts and ideas.

The meeting will be held from the 23rd - 26th September 2007. Talks will be scheduled for the 24th, 25th and 26th, with the 23rd and 26th for travelling. On the evening of the 23rd there is a reception followed by dinner. We will be sending out further information, circulars and registration forms in due course.

The scientific programm will take place over three days and will start

at 09.00 on Monday, the 24th and

end

with dinner on Wednesday, the 26th of September 2007.

Information for Speakers

Abstracts

We would appreciate if you would submit a title and a short abstract of your intended talk (up to 5 sentences) as soon as possible to gibe us the opportunity to plan the scientific programme. Please send us the extended version of your abstract, at the latest by June, 30th 2007 in electronic form, which can be processed by MS Word (*.doc; *.rtf; *.txt). Templates for MS Word and Open Office are available as downloads.

Presentations

The presentations should be 35 min long with 10 min for questions.

We will have an overhead projector, and LCD projector (XGA) connected to a Windows or Apple Macintosh PC, and a slide projector available.

The precise order of presentations will be decieded upon when we have received all the final abstracts.

Proceedings

As with all Beilstein symposia, speakers are invited to submit their scientific contributions as papers for publication on our web site as part of a series of such events. We would like to have a paper that reflects the contents and theme of your talk. These papers will be of potential historic value in plotting the progress of recommendations of laboratory procedures in the area of enzyme characterizations.

The length of the submitted paper sould be between 10 - 20 printed pages. We hope that all speakers will be able to provide us with a paper of their talk, to enable us to have a lasting documentation of this workshop. We will allow free access to the proceedings.

Deadline for submitting the Proceedings papers will be end of December, 2007.
